Glamorous

It all boils down to sound decisions, a quality venue and efficient vendors. Believe it or not, this couple hosted three wedding reception dinners with just six weeks of planning!

Lacking the time to even consult with a wedding planner, the bride picked her favourite colour – pastel blue – and left the rest to her décor vendor, Wishing Tree. The combination of hydrangeas, ivory roses, white tulips and phalaenopsis softened the grand ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, and helped to create a dreamy fairyland ambience that the guests loved.

Drawing inspiration from their college days in London, which was where they met, Shanru and Wee Jin themed their wedding “British Vintage”. The intimate setting was perfect for the meaningful celebration, which was also a happy reunion for all who attended. Meanwhile, the gold candelabras and crystal cut vases, set against the black tablecloths, made quite an impression and brought the touch of glamour that the couple sought. Many thanks for these fantastic photos, Louis Loo Photography!

Jin and Simon’s wedding celebration was a feast for the eyes indeed. The newlyweds are designers (architect and graphic designer respectively) and this was reflected not only in their choice of venues, but also in the theme of their wedding, from their wedding outfits right down to the stationery. Thanks, Bloc Memoire Photography, for capturing such a dreamy set of photos.

One of Jin’s favourite moments of the day was the time that she had with her parents as they veiled her before Simon arrived. That was when she realised that it was time for her to detach from them and start a new life with Simon. Simon also picked up Jin in the morning and drove her to the Christ Methodist Church himself, which gave them the opportunity to savour the moment, just the two of them, before the hustle and bustle of the day really began.

From gilded candlesticks and chairs to feathers, beads and all that jazz, Mellissa and Kristian’s wedding celebration certainly paid homage to the glam era of Old Hollywood. The mixture of long and round tables, giant balloon wall, and that dazzling black and gold backdrop with the newlyweds’ initials all helped to create a truly glamorous affair. What a night to remember! And many thanks to Inlight Photos for capturing these absolutely amazing photos!

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that a wedding is essentially a giant party – that is, if you set the right tone. These newlyweds went for contrast: glamorous yet rustic, classic yet modern, lavish yet intimate. It was a two-day celebration for their friends and family, and everyone clearly had an amazing time.

The bride looked stunning in her glittery gold gown, which, together with the lush décor, high ceilings and wooden interiors, gave the wedding a rustic luxe feel. Meanwhile, the crystal elements and fairy lights, as well as the hanging vines and ivy, created a cosy, intimate setting. Many thanks to Louis Loo Photography for this wonderfully detailed set of photos!

Keeping things elegant yet modern, this beautiful colour palette of white, blue and gold, complete with touches of sparkle and lace, was a sight to behold. With the ballroom’s high ceilings, long tables flanking the runway, and white cloth draped along the walls, the reception, which was awash in blue light, had a majestic yet modern vibe. Final finishing touches were added in the form of gilded Tiffani chairs, breathtakingly elaborate floral table centrepieces, and sparkly lace tablecloths. And of course not forgetting that amazing floral photo wall, too!

Flowers and nature took centre stage at this beautiful wedding in Uluwatu, Bali. The most breathtaking element was the wedding arch, replete with pink roses in full bloom, lush green vines and leaves, and with the added touch of an elegant blush pink ribbon. The elaborate tablescapes were adorned with roses, succulents and baby’s breath, as well as wooden branches with golden tea lights in geometric terrarium pots and holders. For an extra touch of romance, tall stalks of cherry blossom branches flanked the wedding aisle. Many thanks to Terralogical for this breathtaking set of photos.

Pair draped linen and soft twinkling lights with gold sparkles and lots of flowers, and you’ve got yourself a classically perfect wedding. From the sparkly bridesmaids’ dresses to the blush pink accents in the reception’s tablescape, décor and flowers, everything came together so beautifully, and we especially love the ceiling of flowers and the floral arch. Many thanks to Adam Ong Photography for capturing this glamorous wedding party – planned by MY Wedding Planner and put together by Wishing Tree.

Michelle: “I remember walking down the aisle and looking towards the end and being able to only see Hann. As clichéd as it may sound, a relaxed feeling came over me as his gaze warmed and calmed my soul.

“What’s more fun and memorable than a giant get-together with friends and family? We had to figure out how to make a party work for 820 people, so we agreed to throw an after party in the function hall next to our reception ballroom. Everyone, both young and old, were up on their feet and having a ball dancing the night away.

“I knew I wanted a romantic and beautifully lit reception setting, draped in linen and accented with soft lighting for a dreamy and ethereal feel, as well as a colour palette and flowers that complemented the beauty of the ballroom. It’s easy to get carried away but that night when I entered the ballroom, I fell in love with everything I saw and it felt great to see the end result. Our colour scheme of blush pink, white and gold featured in all aspects of our wedding day, from our invitations to the bridesmaids’ dresses and the floral decorations. We also brought in gold chairs to fit the grand space.”

Almost as if it were straight out of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, this beautiful wedding had one defining element: flowers and botanicals – everywhere! Orchids were a particular favourite, as it held significant meaning for the bridal couple, and they covered everything from the decorations, invitations, and favours to even the lace cape of the bride’s evening gown. We’re also loving the bride’s dress, which was custom made by Yefta Gunawan, one of Indonesia’s leading bridal designers.

The bride and groom exchanged their vows amidst a truly stunning décor of white rose petals and hanging roses, which created a ceiling over the intimate and serene space with its breathtaking cliff top view. Replicating this elegant décor for their reception, they opted for fresh flowers that adorned the tables as well as the ceiling, and fresh pink roses for the tea ceremony. Many thanks to Terralogical for capturing this absolutely gorgeous set of photos.

Even when you’re in your home country, you can have a destination wedding of sorts! This couple had their wedding ceremony in Jakarta Cathedral, then their dinner reception the next day at The Edge Villas Uluwatu, Bali.

Jakarta Cathedral, with its vaulted teakwood ceilings and sunlight streaming through long, narrow windows above the grand main altar, needed only minimal decorations. From the bride’s baby’s breath bouquet to the white-on-white floral pew hangers and textured white carpet, everything was kept simple. This allowed the grandeur of the venue to truly shine, lending an air of solemnity and awe to the proceedings.

This had all the makings of a classically beautiful wedding, from the venue to the breathtakingly glamorous floral elements and décor. The abundance of white flowers, set against the white walls and colonial architecture, together with the dripping beads, crystals, candles in gilded candleholders and tea lights, all came together so perfectly. Many thanks to Louis Loo Photography for capturing these stunning wedding shots!

With the theme of purple romance, this wedding dinner in the fabled Majestic Hotel is a visual fairytale of dreamy florals and glowing candlelight. Various shades of purple were used throughout, accented by soft whites, pale pinks and glittering gold. With elegant candlesticks and gleaming crystal hangings to round things out, the whole atmosphere was one of romantic softness through and through.

One standout feature that we loved in particular were the Viking table arrangements on each side of the aisle. This allowed for the very effective use of vertical centrepieces, which lead the eye in an unbroken line to the focal point of the whole hall — the main table with its towering centrepiece of cherry blossom branches. With such flawless execution, it must have been a dream come true for the wedded couple!

Following a romantic proposal that featured candles and rose petals, it only made sense that this bride and groom would bring that aesthetic to their wedding reception. With florals as the central theme, this wedding was tastefully elegant and romantic. Keeping things classic, the reception was all about breathtaking grandeur, with opulent chandeliers and hanging crystals, blush pink flowers and decorative vases. For their ceremony, the couple exchanged vows under a stunning floral arch with white flowers and lush greens. Many thanks to Feztography for this beautiful set of photos.
